I found the FreeBSD docs for setting this up scattered all over the place, and it took me a while to figure everything out how to set up all the individual pieces, debug it, and get things working. I captured my notes in this text file: http://people.freebsd.org/~rodrigc/pxe/freebsd-pxe.txt I would like to contribute this back to the FreeBSD Documentation project as a new section of the FreeBSD Handbook. This is my first attempt at SGML Docbook: http://people.freebsd.org/~rodrigc/doc/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/network-pxe-nfs.html and the patch is here: http://people.freebsd.org/~rodrigc/nfs-pxe.diff.txt Can I get some feedback on this? If it is OK, can I commit it? I don't normally commit to src/doc. Thanks. -- Craig Rodrigues rodrigc@crodrigues.org
